tubes are pure white. The individual flowers are well set on good, 
strong, wiry spikes. This variety will prove excellent for outdoor 
cut-flowers. The plants are base-branching and produce from six to 
eight huge long-flowering spikes on which the florets are decidedly 
well arranged. This is an all-purpose Snap. We cannot recommend it 
too highly for both bedding and cutting. See color illustration on
